Preview Preview/changes v. Collingwood @ MCG - Qualifying Final

[Bluelegs]

What’s with Fritsch named on the bench? Still under an injury cloud?

The six Melb forwards named on the ground are a tad underwhelming. Concerning?

Be careful what you wish for!

You have no right to say this if you actually rate Howe as a forward.

Teamsheets mean absolutely nothing. Come game time, Fritsch, Petracca and Pickett will all be inside 50.

I really rate Lever and May when free to zone-off, intercept and rebound. They’ll kill us if allowed to do that again. Howe will hopefully keep one of them accountable. He did so effectively against Harris Andrews a couple of weeks ago and hit the scoreboard…..although we did lose the match.

OK, that’s a bit scarier.

I suspect this is why Smith wasn't sighted at training recently, of course still named, no issues

 

[Crimson Azure]

30 pages and I'm yet to give my thoughts on selection.

He's back!

Not really.

Fritsch Pickett VanRooyen TMac + couple of defensive forwards ANB & Chandler enough to get the job done.

Petracca will drift forward, as will Gawn late in quarters.

Like you guys we’re more about system than individual brilliance, although DeGoey does worry us (as I’m sure Tracc & Kozzy worry you).

As close to a coin flip game as it gets I reckon. Side that kicks more goals than points probably wins it.

 

[pjfairbairn]

I'm actually pumped. I really like our 22, really only Petty for JSmith and Melky for TMac for best 22.

We were significantly better than them on QB and I am confident.

With line-ups finalised, here are Collingwood’s OUTs and INs compared to Kings Birthday.

OUT: NDaicos, Noble, Frampton, Johnson, Harrison, McInnes.

IN: DeGoey, Elliott, Sidebottom, McStay, Howe, Ginnivan.

Obviously NDaicos is a huge out but collectively our INs are a big upgrade on our OUTs.

How does it look for you, other than the big IN of Oliver?

Oliver, McDonald and Bowey in for Grundy, Tomlinson and Spargo from KB.

 

[Capt_Concussion]

God I hope Collingwood play Howe as a forward.

Looking forward to Gawn being the step ladder for Howe and his opponent, Smith, to contest a speccy.

17 of our 2021 premiership side named + Van Rooyen McVee Hunter Smith Chandler

18 players with premiership experience when you include Hunter. That’s formidable any way you slice it.

You’re welcome!

I was wrong too. Markov’s not an IN. He was sub on KB. Jamie Elliott is the other IN I overlooked. An OK player.

Mate no one gives a heck who you had out, you need to get over the fact you lost and worry about Thursday

Not at all worried about Thursday. You?

You should be.
I can smell the Colliwobbles

Guess we'll see. Asking Hibbo to play tall and taking him away from the Elliott matchup would be foolish, IMO.

Yeah I hear ya. Goody liked the Hibbo, May and Lever combo earlier in the year but I was never a big fan.

 

[markm106]

I’d say with Tmac coming back in it’s likely Smith goes back. However I could see pies pulling late change swapping Ginnivan and Cox.

 

[Lord Nev]

Balls with a training day rev up. Gotta love that.

Oliver is bigger than all that collectively. I wonder what mysterious virus will have gone through the Pies when they lose this one?

Can see Viney giving these rev ups in 20 years time to our team! Balls was awesome. As tough as we've ever had. Hopefully the boys play with his aggression. Need Trac to put on his big boy pants for this one.

 

[MarcMaverick]

I feel very tired. I also feel very nervy. Bloody conundrum.
